Hogan was given a completely weird turn on the character, but he did get to be a hoss had probably the best fight scene in the last season of the show, racking up Hawkman as a kill. And considering the unambiguously evil way Slade was being played in the comics at the time, making him a scary mook wasn't that surprising.

I don't think the height thing with Slade makes all that much difference. They need to be careful never to film Ollie towering over him, but the way he's been introduced, his aura more than makes up for any physical limitations.

He's physically bigger, stronger and better than Ollie, because he tells us he is with his eyes and with his actions Sheer acting skill and charisma.

Totally agree with you...even though Slade is shorter than Ollie...his "bigger-than-life" presence (IMO) is dominating etc. And like you said he's physically stronger, bigger and better than Ollie. And totally intimidating at times.
